Product Description

There's more to going to the movies than seeing the movie itself - it's the popcorn! Now, with the Whirley Pop Popcorn Maker, you can make fluffy, delicious popcorn just like you get at the theater. The stay-cool hardwood handle turns the stainless steel paddle inside, preventing scorching and burning, and making certain every kernel pops up like it should. The steam vents on top allow moisture to escape so the popcorn is always light and tender. Much quicker than microwaving, the popper makes up to 6 quarts and comes with a 25 year warranty. Also included with the popper is 1 popcorn packets (each one making up to 6 quarts) and "secret ingredient" flavoring packets that give the popcorn that movie-popcorn taste. The popper also comes with a recipe book for more popcorn flavor ideas.Pan is made of aluminum and the lid is made of stainless steel and aluminum.

Amazon.com Review
Face it, sometimes the best thing about going out to a movie is the popcorn, those big plump kernels that always seem so much better than what you pop at home. But this simple stovetop popper changes all that. It really does make awesome, fresh-popped corn that might make you start renting videos instead. The sturdy aluminum pan has a clip-on lid with a stay-cool wooden handle. A turn crank on the handle spins the key element: the stainless steel stirring system that keeps the corn moving across the bottom of the pan, for even heat and oil distribution, ensuring the best popping results. The lid has steam vents, to help keep the popcorn dry and crisp. The enclosed booklet is a wonderful resource, with not only clear and detailed instructions, but also dozens of recipes and popcorn history and lore. These are folks who really do know their popcorn, and the results are outstanding. --Cynthia Nims

Made Cheaply
I have used the popper for 5 years..I am on my 3rd one, or should I say I am throwing out my 3rd one ! The plastic gear which enables the handle to turn melts like a 2 cents Made In China piece of junk ..
Also, their popcorn has a very limited shelf life and goes stale in no time..The product used to be better...

Makes great popcorn
This is the third Whirley-Pop Stovetop Popcorn Popper. Through no fault of the popper, it's had to be replaced two time, as I left it on the stove, thinking it would be ok for several minutes - only I forgot about it.

The first one we purchased lasted for 20 years, and at the end, it was making the same, great tasting popcorn that it did originally. The popcorn is light and fluffy. All kernels will pop, if the instructions are followed.

My only recommendation is to use walnut oil in the popper, instead of more generic oils. It adds just a small bit of flavor, and in my opinion, reduces the needed amount of salt sprinkled on the cooked popcorn.

When I moved to Italy, I brought this with me!
When I moved to Italy last year I packed this carefully as I knew I'd never find one over here. It simply makes GREAT popcorn! I use a little olive oil and even the generic popcorn I find in the local store comes out great! We eat popcorn a few times a week. Now I have a friend that wants one, so I'm ordering it for my brother-in-law to bring over in his luggage when he visits for New Year's. It makes even mediocre corn taste great...so much easier than shaking a pan, and much tastier than air-popped. One of the reviews said the top has a 25-year guarantee. I don't know about that, but just treat it gently and you shouldn't have any problems.
